Christmas in Berlin

Brandenburg Gate
This is one of the main symbols of Berlin and one of the most famous European landmarks.

As we stood outside the gate--on the once Soviet side--you could almost imagine what it must have been like for those East Germans to finally be able to walk through into West Germany and see family and friends they had not seen for years--and be free.
